Pacific Guitar Ensemble

This “eclectic group of pluckers”—eight virtuosos of classical guitar, including ensemble founders David Tanenbaum and Peppino D’Agostino—supplements nylon strings with steel, combines electric basses with seventeenth-century theorbos, and throws in an oud for good measure. Tonight they join forces to tackle a wide variety of music, including Steve Reich’s seminal Electric Counterpoint, as well as works by Sérgio Assad, Terry Riley, and Astor Piazzolla.

Please come early for best seating. A limited number of chairs will be available.

Admission to L@TE is $7; free for BAM/PFA members and Cal students, faculty, and staff. Advance tickets are available online, in person at the BAM/PFA admissions desk, and by phone.

L@TE is made possible by Ann Hatch/Tin Man Fund, the Thomas J. Long Foundation, and the continued support of the BAM/PFA Trustees. Special thanks to our media sponsors East Bay Express and San Francisco Bay Guardian.
